John — in their last weeks with a veto-proof supermajority, North Carolina’s Republican legislators are using a smokescreen Helene aid bill to strip power away from incoming Governor Josh Stein and Attorney General Jeff Jackson.

Gov. Cooper VETOED this underhanded, partisan power grab — but NC Senate Republicans voted yesterday to override his veto in a last-ditch effort to silence the voices of North Carolinians. We won’t stand for it.

We need you to join Josh in fighting back against far-right Republicans and protect democracy here in North Carolina >>>

Look, North Carolina voters BROKE the GOP’s legislative supermajority in last month’s elections. Meanwhile, they chose Democrats to lead as Governor and Attorney General — NOT the GOP-controlled legislature. By stripping away powers from our incoming elected officials, Republicans are directly negating the will of the people.

People in western North Carolina are hurting and need our help, but this bill promises them false hope to grab power and undermine our checks and balances.

GOP lawmakers are proving that they’d once again prefer to put their far-right agenda over the people of North Carolina, even if it means disrespecting the voters’ choice.

We can’t give up on North Carolina — chip in now to fight back against the NC GOP >>>
